Excellent points Colin, and thank you.
You are absolutly correct about the AVS popup, one of the many things I must fix before launch. We are a FREE site but have AVS control over explicit galleries (see Amateur page). Every word will have (or does have) free content ("picture gallery" and "watch video now" links under the main illustration on every page. Some is explicit and requires AVS pass (which was $25/yr and just changed to premium only). The cost gives access to the *entire* avs network.

Our revenue is:
1.) Products, books, etc (see left column, "home study")
2.) Links (Explorer's Guide)
3.) Hosted gallery links ("Watch Video Now")
4.) AVS signups (quit laughing)
5.) Banners (bottom of all pages and specific to pages, ie. Latex page has only Latex banners

I'm wondering if you noticed the gallery links under the main illustrations (the main gallery icons on the left are disappearing this month). Maybe I should make that more obvious. Did you notice the Safe/Explicit switch? That too might need some re-thinking.

Thanks again

Fresh design!
Youve taken elements of what Id call old school and slicked them up.
Nice concept and looks good.

Im with Colin though the key as with any site is the source of traffic and the hook to get them to buy.

thinking like a surfer...Id have to see some more to buy as well.

Welcome to oprano...good way to start out doing biz!
